His record 20-2-1 is sick, and although was defeated by florian he did not manage to finish him or really hurt him, and florian is #1 contender.

I know MMAmath doesn't work but Griffin lost to Edgar who lost to Maynard. Edgar's beaten Franca who's better than anybody Griffin or Maynard have fought except maybe Diaz (subbed Maynard on TUF). Right now I have Sherk at #2 so if Tyson wins, he's got a claim but if Maynard beats Clementi, Griffin would still have to contend with him, winner of Florian/Stevenson, winner of Diaz/Neer (Neer has wins at WW over Guillard and Stevenson) and Edgar. While Tyson has looked well rounded and smooth in his transitions, his lack of dominant wins keeps him behind all four. True Sherk beat Florian but Florian has a longer win streak and is generally considered to be improved since that match and Sherk hasn't won since the steroid suspension.

I think I'm a little higher on Florian than you, but Kenflo and Griffin should be next, I think Griffin would have his shot already if he could finish his fights. I don't see a 155er beating BJ though Good read analysis Nick.

Nice one Nick. I too believe Tyson or Flo should have their BJbeatdown next. Unless BJ has a secret weapon on how to take out GSP, It's probably going to be a decision win for GSP judging by his current high fighting standard. BUT, BJ wants to be the first hold both belts? That will never happen if Dana makes him vacate one!! He should defend each title every 6months. WHY NOT AYE? LOL A very good read and (in my eyes) accurate round up of the division as it currently stands.

I put Nate Diaz ahead of him, Frankie Edgar, Gray Maynard. He beat Melvin big whup!! Hell I put Huerta ahead of him. You have Rich Clementi rated way way too high.

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 02:18:48 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=5673#comment-45737 where's JOE LAUZON? i would put him ahead of spencer fisher or frankie edgar. he lost to florian. those elbows were pretty contraversial, but i dont take anything away from kenny. i think he could take fisher, edgar and guida. i think he could hold his own with maynard,diaz and clementi. where’s JOE LAUZON? i would put him ahead of spencer fisher or frankie edgar. he lost to florian. those elbows were pretty contraversial, but i dont take anything away from kenny. i think he could take fisher, edgar and guida. i think he could hold his own with maynard,diaz and clementi.

They got schooled by B.J Penn in their respective bouts so why should we care to see them fight B.J again? Ken Flo and Tyson Griffin however is more interesting bouts for me. But I don't really care if we get B.J Penn vs GSP first or if we get B.J vs KenFlo. I don’t give a crap about seeing either Joe Stevenson or Sean Sherk back in the title picture..

The lightweight division would be REALLY competitive if BJ Penn moves up permanently to welterweight. Good read!
